The court case Bruce and Paula Barr brought against Grundy County for not granting their rezoning request was voluntarily dismissed last month by the Barrs.

In 2011, the Barrs were denied by Grundy County a request to rezone their 57 acres at 3245 Southmor Road from Agriculture-Residential zoning to just Agricultural zoning. Throughout the process, numerous neighbors objected to the rezoning because Barr allegedly told one of the neighbors he intended to put in a pig farm on the property.

This past summer, the Barrs' original complaint against the county was dismissed, but their lawyer, Frank Cortina, amended the complaint, which was originally in court in November and again in January.
